; SULLIVAN'S ARM.
The Injured Member Broken Again and Reset
by One of New York's Famous Surgeons.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-John L. Sullivan went
to the office of DR.. Sayre to-day, and consulted
him about the broken arm. The celebrated sur
geon quickly determined that the bone had not
been set in the best manner. and told Sullivan
that he would never get the complete use of the
arm unless he had it broken again and reset.
Sullivan told the surgeon to go ahead. With q
sudden twist DR.. Sayre opened the fracture. and
the bone was soon reset and the arm bandaged.
Sullivan tainted with the pain, but was brought
to in a moment, aud then was sick for time.
Dr. Sayre explains that. the bone was at first
set, it would have been impossible for Sullivan
to bring the hand up in front of him with the
palm toward the face and of course the natural
use of the arm would be impeded in many ways.
There is no doubt. in Dr. Sayre's mind, that the
arm will now become as strong and effective as
it ever was.

AN ARCHITECT WANTED.

The Right Man Can Have Mr.. Bells Place

made his appearance who seeks the place now

Treasury Department; that is to say. no one
who has the necessary ability has yet applied.
There are, of course plenty of applicants, but
the right man has not yet asked for the appoint

give the place to good man, if he could find one
that would accept; in fact, / am informed on
the most reliable authority. that he has offered
the place to no lees than four differ

the country. The place Only pays
81 800 year, it Is true, but the supervising g
architect Virtually has control of the exnenditnre
of millions. and it Is place that gives an
architect an extensive acquaintance with con-
tractors. which is in itself frequently worth the
entire salary paid for his services by the govern

very little practical experience before he was

Democrats are not particularly anxious TO have
him with them.

CORRUPTION IN BROOKLYN.
The GrandJury Finds that City Officials Have
Bartered Franchises for Personal Profit.

BRooKLYs, Jan. 2s.-Some very startling dis
closures were made by the grand jury to-day.
They reveal a most alarming state of affairs in
the workings of the city government, and vir-
tually charge the chief of the Brooklyn fire de-
partment and members of the Board of Alder
men with granting franchises to electric
light companies for their personal ben
eft. The grand jury states that while
there exists cause for placing such
a stigma upon local officers, an indictment would
be useless, because of tie loose manner in which
the laws looking to tie punishment of such evils
have been drawn up. The circumstances under
which telephone companies were allowed to erect
poles aud string wires in violation of law point
to official corruption of serious nature. The
Mayor IS exonerated by the grand jury, which
expresses the opinion that he has been thorough
ly hoodwinked. Brooklyn is powerless to stamp
out the in,quity because Of the failure to obtain
the testimony of witnesses necessary to convict
the corruptiouists. The presentment of the
grand jury causes a profound local sensation.

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.

England Desires an Amicable Adjustment
War Talk Among the Canadian Militia.
LONDON, Jan. 28.-The subject OF the dispute
between the United States and Great Britain in
regard to the Canadian fisheries was brought up
in the House of Commons this afternoon. Sir
James Ferguson, Parliamentary Secretary of
the Foreign Office, in answer to inquiries said
that the government has been comforting with
the government of the United States on the
question. The Canadian fisheries, he said, were
very valuable, and the government had followed
the policy concerning them which had been
adopted by the preceding governments, and
would maintain the rights of the colonies, with
every desire to conciate the United States.
The government was unable, at present,
to narrate the whole course of the negotiations
with the United States, but could state that a
dispatch had been received which was of pa
cific nature. and afforded material grounds for
hope Of a final settlement of the dispute.
United States Minister Phelps had an hours
conference with the Marquis of Salisbury, to-
day, at the Premier's request, to discuss the
Canadian fisheries question. The conference
was most cordial on both sides. Lord Salisbury
expressed himself gratifed at the general tore of
the American press and people in the dispute,
and he assured Mr.. Phelps that England and
Canada were equally desirous of an amicable
adjustment of the whole case.
OTTAWA. Ont, jan 2S.-The war talk from
over the border has raised similar bellicose
feeling among the militia of all the British colo
niee, and there is growing feeling that q re-
course to arms Is not unlikely. The War De-
partment here has maps of every fortifcation in
the United States, all of them equal to those
possessed by the War Department at Washing
ton. particularly those upon the coast and the
great lakes, and duplicate copies have been sent
to the imperial Minister of War, in London, so
as to prepare the mother country for any emerg-
ency. A careful review of militia here has been
ordered, and everything has heen pronounced to
be in frst-class order
